Swift Programming Quick-Start for Mint 19

Hello Mint User! This Tutorial Shows You Step-by-Step How-to Install the Swift Compiler and Getting-Started with Swift Programming on Linux Mint 19.x Tara LTS 32/64-bit GNU/Linux.

And the Swift Linux Mint 19 Release includes: Compiler, Lldb, and related Tools.

Furthermore, Swift is a programming language for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps that builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C compatibility.
